Entry Point — $350

Discovery Session

A focused 60-minute conversation structured to produce clarity, not just rapport. Before any engagement begins, we need to understand what is actually at stake.

$350 — Credited toward any engagement
What It Is

Structured diagnostic conversation for leaders with real complexity.

Most engagements fail in the intake. The wrong question gets asked, the presenting problem gets addressed, and the actual condition goes unexamined. The Discovery Session is designed to prevent that.

In 60 minutes, we identify the leadership challenge, the development need, or the organizational condition that is actually worth addressing. That precision determines what kind of work comes next, and whether this practice is the right fit for it.

The $350 fee is credited in full toward any subsequent engagement. It is not a sales call. It is the first real piece of work.

What Happens

60 minutes. Structured. Diagnostic.

01
Context framing. You describe the situation in your own terms. What prompted you to reach out. What is actually at stake.
02
Challenge clarification. We distinguish between the presenting problem and the underlying condition. These are rarely the same thing.
03
Fit assessment. Is executive coaching the right intervention? Consulting? An LVA? Or something else entirely? That determination happens here.
04
Next-step clarity. You leave with a clear picture of what kind of work would actually move the needle, and what that engagement would look like.
Who It Is For

Leaders who know something needs to change but are not certain what.

The Discovery Session is the right starting point if you are navigating a leadership transition, feeling misaligned between your role and your actual capacity, preparing for a significant career move, or leading through an organizational condition that has resisted resolution.

It is also the right entry point for organizations considering advisory support where the scope is not yet defined. Clarity on the actual problem is the prerequisite for any meaningful engagement.

What It Is Not

What this session does not do.

— A sales call or a free consultation designed to close you on a program
— A coaching session or a full development conversation
— A résumé review or a career counseling session
— A way to sample the engagement without commitment to the process
— The right fit if the challenge is already clearly defined and the engagement type is already known
Why It Exists

Precision before investment.

Senior leaders do not have margin for work that addresses the wrong problem. The Discovery Session exists because the most expensive mistake in any development engagement is starting before the actual challenge is understood.

The $350 fee signals seriousness from both sides. Productive diagnostic conversations require a leader who is prepared to engage honestly, not one exploring options at no cost or commitment. The credit toward any engagement means the fee carries forward as investment, not overhead.

Expected Benefit

Clarity on what is actually worth doing next.

The single deliverable of a Discovery Session is a clear-eyed picture of the actual leadership challenge and the kind of engagement that would address it. You will leave knowing whether the next step is executive coaching, a Leadership Value Assessment, organizational consulting, or something outside this practice entirely.

That clarity is the benefit. It saves time, protects resources, and ensures that any work that follows is aimed at the right target.
